Starbucks versus Dunkin' Donuts: a debate that has long plagued coffee drinkers everywhere. Dunkin' Donuts is a predominantly East Coast chain, first started in Massachusetts, with over 11,300 restaurants worldwide. Near and dear to my heart, Dunkin' has been serving the best coffee, doughnuts, and breakfast sandwiches around since 1950.

Starbucks, on the other hand, is DD's artsy, angsty cousin. Originating in Seattle, the first Starbucks was opened in 1971. Known for their overpriced, overcomplicated coffee drinks, there are over 22,500 stores worldwide guaranteed to make you miss the comfort of your neighborhood Dunkin' Donuts.

Here to outline the critical differences are your favorite Dunder Mifflin employees.

Come Monday morning, you're forced with a tough decision: Starbucks or Dunkin'?

When all other options are exhausted and caffeine headaches force you into your neighborhood Starbucks.


DD breakfast means paying $9 for an XL coffee and 50 munchkins.

Starbucks breakfast means paying $9 for subpar coffee and a reheated sandwich that will be gone in two bites.

Ordering your DD usual, only to be told they don't make a 32-fluid-ounce iced coffee at Starbucks.

Waiting for your ridiculously overpriced coffee.

Watching a hipster teenage barista spell your name horrendously wrong on a cup.

A trip to Starbucks always ends with grabbing extra napkins ...

Coming home for winter break only to find the local Dunkin' Donuts still has your order memorized.

Checking your bank account after reloading your Dunkin' rewards app.

And worst of all, going to a college with no Dunkin' Donuts within a 20-mile radius.

Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks, plain and simple.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
